Rollins previously fielded a college football team, first in 1904 and last in 1949.[4]
In 1950 and 1956, Betty Rowland and Marlene Stewart, respectively, won the women's individual intercollegiate golf championship (an event conducted by the Division of Girls' and Women's Sports (DGWS) — which later evolved into the current NCAA women's golf championship). In later years, Bettina Walker (1988, 1989), Debbie Pappas (1990, 1991, 1992), Mariana De Biase (2006) and Joanna Coe (2008) became individual national champions at the Small College and NCAA Division II levels. As a team, Rollins College has won 13 national championships.[3]
The Tars have won twelve NCAA Division II team national championships.
